Regarding the letter written by Patricia Eisenhauer castigating illegal immigrants ["Deport Illegal Immigrants," Feb. 14], lest you are of the indigenous peoples, it is you, not they, who are illegal immigrants.

The ones declared as illegal are descended from those who were first on "our" land — the land resettled by white invaders.
